Stu.
I've sent you an email on same.

We had a visit today on the LGT stand from the Business Manager for Classic Team Lotus. We discussed the spares they've taken on from Paul Matty and he seemed genuinely interested in how they could support the Grand Tourers going forward. I mentioned that top and bottom windscreen trims for Elite / ...

Don't worry about the wires. Just connect and try. If it's wrong all that will happen is window will go down when you press up and vica-versa. By channel, if you mean the felt seal the window runs in, you'll need to remove the glass first. Awkward job and you will probably need to at least unbolt th...

I'll aim to be there by 9;30, rush hour traffic permitting. I've got the mugs and board sticker, so some work to do to dismantle the boards and stick other side. Thanks Richard, they look great.
Hall 5 entrance, is that correct? Who'll be best to ring for the band at that time?

To take the motor off the arm, you need to take the tension out of a big FO coiled spring. Easy enough if you clamp the arm in a vice, but don't just take the 3 imperial bolts out or you'll be down A&E.

Motor mounts to a plate with 3 bolts from the rear as already mentioned (imperial bolts). First removed the Motor and plate. The plate bolts direct to the door beam with 4 off M 6 bolts. Once these bolts are free, the glass will drop to any position you want (provided it's not jammed in the frame so...

That's snug. Looking forward to seeing on Friday. Lovely work Pete.

Put me in for Friday.

I have a pair of the longer over axle pipes surplus to my needs. I'm not sure exactly which models had these longer pipes, but I can say for sure the MY89 with Grundy system DOESN'T - Hence why I don't need. They are stainless steel ( I painted with a heat resistant black paint) and the flange plate...

I'm arranging a meet with Richard Friday morning.
Thanks Stu.
